Col. Sol. Hampton, of Leicester,

The failure of Mr.. Richmond
Pearson last Friday to vote for the
Republican measure-the repeal of
the present form of county govern

when he was voting with and for
them. How hard it appears tn be
to straddle the fence, even should it
be a Buncombe county fence.

MEETING OF THE CITIZENS.
summer and fall months.

A meeting of the citizens of Dodge
City was called Saturday night at the
court house for the purpose of repudi-
ating the action of the City Council in
the passage of the occupation tax license,
an ordinance recently passed. 1t was
called an Indignation meeting, but as far
as an observer was able to see it was very
improperly named, for the best of good
feeling seemed to prevail, and the crowd
was entertained to a late hour by the nu-
merous speakers that were called to the
front After the subject had been well
discussed in the interest of both the cOun-
Gil and citizens. a resolution was passed
soliciting the council to reconsider their
action and repeal the ordinance that was
unsatisfactory The following committee
was appointed to confer with the council
at the time of The next meeting:
w. c. Shinn, L. Sims, II. f. Rice, Capt.
A. Dienst, w. Z. Hendricks, Col. T. S.
Jones, S. Mullendore, C. w. Averill, r.
B. Rutherford, w. r. Judd, J. H. Craw
ford, D. M. Frost.
Tuesday evening the citizens again as
sembled at the court house to hear the
report of the committee as to what
changes in the license ordinance it in
tended to recommend to the council.
After a somewhat lengthy discussion
over the various points mentioned in the
ordinance. the revised measure with a
few notifications was accepted, as rec
omended by the committee.
Capt Finley then offered resolution
which was unanimously passed by the
convention, that city bonds be voted not
to exceed $40, 600 for the purpose of city
improvements, and it was further rec
commended that a moderate tax be i'm
posed to defray the expenses of the city,
until such time as the bonds could be
made to take effect.
